Recently, we attended Motor City Comic Con and\"IMG_0173\"<\/a> I have to say that I don\u2019t remember it being so insane. The last time we attended, 5 or so years ago, I felt the convention<\/span><\/span> was<\/span><\/span> a good size with a great guest line up. Flash forward to 2017 and Motor City Comic Con can give the conventions on the coasts a run for their money.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Motor City Comic Con has an impressive list of guests from both the comic industry and television\/movies. Though not the crush of humanity that is New York Comic Con, Motor City was very crowded.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The lines for some of the media guest were ridiculously long but it is worth waiting to give fans an up-close meeting with their favorite stars. As press some of the lines were too long to even consider waiting just to snap a quick photo and ask a question or two before moving into the next line.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from all the guests Motor City Comic Con has a massive dealer\u2019s area where you can pick up anything from back issues of Spider-Man to real swords. I have to say that I am tired of Pop figures. Almost every dealer was selling those little pieces of vinyl crack, some as low as 5 bucks. I guess if you are into them you may have thought you died and went to Heaven, but I digress. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most enjoyable things about attending a convention, at least for me, is looking at the cosplayers. There were so many people in costume I could have spent the entire day just snapping photos. There were several Spider-Man (Men), 8 Star-Lords, a couple of Hellboys and a large number of Star Wars cosplayers. I believe for the most part the Star Wars folks were with the group from the 501<\/span>st<\/span><\/sup>.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Personally, I still don\u2019t know how you can be comfortable in Stormtrooper armor. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing about Motor City Comic Con was seeing the families walking around the convention floor. Some of the families even managed group costumes. I was glad to see parents who want to share their geekiness with their children. There was one little guy about 5 years old who obviously came up with his own costume idea. He wore a nice Batman costume but instead of the cowl this kid wore a Darth Vader helmet. I guess being the Batman isn\u2019t good enough; the kid wanted to be Darth Batman.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
